So, if you're Joe Smith and buy the Nook Glowlight 4 -- and use it normally without customizing or jumping through hoops... you get 5 GBs of storage, not 32 GBs (minus whatever the OS takes up)? Are the Nook developers incapable of learning from the past?
So basically you're back to an 8 GB device (unless you buy some 20 GBs of books directly from B&N). Five GBs is fine for me, but I think they should drop the price to $120 (as ZodWallop mentions) since the GL4 really isn't really a memory upgrade (for side-loaders anyhow).

I feel the same way. I have no idea how to solder, and I know nothing about Android, so all this talk about ADB and MTP is way over my head. I don't feel particularly motivated to learn these things either, as the Nook and other Android-based readers aren't that much better hardware-wise than Kindles and Kobos. I've decided to stick to my Kobos for now. At least I know how to patch and customize those, there are detailed instructions for dumb users like me. And they have 32GB out of the box, which is plenty for me.
